HomeMy WebLinkAboutNovember~~N WEST UN Volume No. 11 Q) November 1997 A new zj1, On October 7, a dedication was held to formally name the park at 3901 Milton Street as Huffington Park in honor of Joseph Montague Huffington, founder of JMH Grocery. The Honorable Michael Huffington presented a check for $100,000 to the Friends of West University Parks Fund, Inc. He also provided a little history about his father, the senior Mr. Huffington, and the grocery store, in- cluding the fact that JMH Store #3 was located on this site prior to West U's purchase of the property on November 22,1988. Although the weather forced the fes- tivities indoors, a crowd of people were there to express their appreciation. As Parks and Recreation Director Mark Mailes pointed out, "The rainy weather could not deter the sunny disposition of those involved in the dedication cer- emony." PLA ~ v L `LC On hand to share in this event were other members of the Huffington fam- ily, West U Mayor Teresa Fogler, Har- ris County Commissioner Steve Radack, and several members of the Friends Board of Directors. The dedication ceremony featured the St. John Singers who performed several wonderful tunes, including Can You Tell Me How to Get to Milton Street. A string trio from St. Thomas also per- formed and current Friends chair Linda Gray served as emcee. Everyone who participated deserves special thanks for making the event memorable. If you have not yet had the pleasure of visiting Huffington Park, you should take the time to stop by and admire the improvements. As Mark Mailes said, "The generosity of the Huffington's will ensure continued improvements of all the parks in West U, for all citizens to enjoy." next scheduled L- ' day.

One way of doing that is sitting in front of a roaring fire on a cool evening. But before you run out to buy firewood, read the following con- cerning the spread of Oak Wilt Disease.

Which of the following most difficult to park without blocking the side- closely describes you?: walk. Those residents could be issued a permit for their unique circumstance A. "I park my car as close to my garage door as I can, but it sticks out across the sidewalk because there isn't enough room to pull it up out of the way. What else can I do?" B. "The cars that block sidewalks really make me mad, because I have to walk around them and that means I have to walk in the street. It's even more dangerous for children, elderly people, and handicapped people." C. "The cars parked across sidewalks don't bother me. Tree roots have made sidewalks in West U uneven, so I just walk in the street. Let them park wher- ever they want." The Texas Transporation Code, Sec- tion 545.302, states that... stopping, standing or parking is prohibited on a sidewalk. So what would you have our police department to do? 1. "Patrol the streets of West U as usual, but watch out for (and ticket) any car they see parked illegally." 2. "Just warn people whose cars are over the line, and they'll stop. If they continue to do it, ticket them." 3. "Leave them alone. Aren't there some speeders on Buffalo Speedway to catch? There are certain places (along Weslayan, for example) where it is quite only, while all others would need to com- ply with the law. (Just an idea.) Issue 2: Bags of garbage, recyclables, or yard waste on the curb - big deal you say? They aren't a big deal at all - un- less they are left on the curb for too long, which upsets many of your neighbors! See which of these descriptions best fits you: A. "I work and have a busy family and I'm lucky to remember which day it is. We pay our taxes it's none of your business when our bags are out on the curb. At least we recycle!" B. "My yard service leaves those bags of grass on the curb because they are too heavy for me to carry. They aren't trash, anyway. They are YARD WASTE! That's not garbage." The cor- rect pickup schedule is: Recyclables: every Wednesday; Garbage and yard waste on the same scheduled "trash" days - Monday and Thursday or Tues- day and Friday. C. "It's not difficult and I don't know why there's such confusion. Since there is an ordinance, everyone should follow it. If someone can't figure it out, they deserve a ticket. It's as simple as that." Perhaps you feel that this issue is frivo- lous, but rest assured that every day of every week there are West U residents who are upset with neighbors who clut- ter their yards with bags. It is against the law (our City Ordinance 11.0 15), and the police have been directed to first warn, then ticket people who refuse to cooperate. Again, what would you have our police department do? Regardless of your attitude about these issues, much of what we all appreciate about West U is a result of rules and regulations, and they must apply equally to all of us. We all choose to live in West U, probably for many of the same reasons. Here are a few of mine: 1. Our small town atmosphere, sur- rounded by the excitement of Houston. 2. The legendary quick response time of our police and fire departments. 3. The city's beauty, our parks and trees, and attention to green space. 4. Excellent city services, with real people on the other end of the phone. 5. Solid property values... ...all things to be proud of, to respect, and to maintain. If you think these or other ordinances should be strengthened (or relaxed!), you are invited to share your views at any City Council meeting. It is your re- sponsibility to know - and abide by - the rules, ordinances, regulations, and laws in effect where you live. If you have questions, call one of the number listed below.

An official ribbon cutting cer- emony has been scheduled for Thurs- day, November 13, as part of Texas Recyc]es W eek. Then at; 2 :00 PM on Saturday, November 15, the center will be the heart of a celebration in honor of our many recycling volunteers. Come to the new dropoff for refreshments and West U giveaways, and help us recog- nize those who have made the building a reality, in the time honored tradition Time to bag it With the new year fast approach- ing, it is time to start using kraft bags to dispose of yard waste. Earlier this year, the City Council passed an ordinance requiring all grass clippings, leaves and other yard waste to be disposed of in paper bags. Resi- dents can purchase large kraft bags at Randall's ($2.80 for 5), Wagner's Hard- ware on Kirby ($2.69 for 5), Builder's Square ($1.99 for 5), and JMH (.50 each). Enforcement of the new ordi- nance begins January 1. "Use of the paper bags will allow the City to dispose of yard waste at a very limited cost," said Edward Menville, Public Works Director. Living Earth Technologies has agreed to accept the City's yard waste (and others) of West U volunteers. After that you can recycle whenever the mood strikes! West U residents, as well as busi- nesses in the surrounding area, are en- couraged to drop off recyclable materi- als at any time, since the facility will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Materials which are currently picked up at the curb -clear glass, colored glass, paper, and aluminum- may be dropped off, as well as the following additional recyclables: plastics 1 & 2, bi-metal ("tin") cans, and cardboard! (The new facility will have no effect on our curbside recycling program.) A new tank for recycling motor oil will be at the new site, as well. As you pull through the circular driveway, the easy-to-reach recptacles will be clearly marked for each material. Simple, easy, convenient! With the new facility open, West U can continue twoard the State's goal of reducing the volume of solid waste de- livered to the landfill by 40 percent. More recyling, less garbage. Come to the party and do your part! For more information, call Cindy Neal at 665.3949. at no cost as long as it is delivered in paper bags. While there are hauling costs involved, the City is expected to reduce solid waste tipping fees by as much as $30,000 during 1998. ,_411tozieafli, eS~iEa~iin9...

This month's employee in the spotlight is the City's Parks and Recreation Sec- retary, Susan Malkemus. In August of 1994, Susan was hired as the Customer Service Representa- tive in the City's Finance Department. In April of this year, she transferred to Parks and Recreation to become the department secretary. When asked what she likes most about working in Parks and Recreation, Susan replied, "I consider myself very lucky to have a j ob that is not only fun, but rewarding too! I enjoy planning classes and activities for our residents. West U is not only a won- derful place to live, it's also a great place to work." Susan provides daily assistance to Parks and Recreation director Mark Mailes who says, " Susan has been a positive asset to the department. Her personality, creativity, and professional- ism make her a very valuable contribu- tor to our programs. Susan's duties in- clude planning, scheduling, and organiz- ing classes and rentals held at the Com- munity Building. She also designs, pub- lishes, and edits the seasonal guides for the department. A native Texan, Susan was raised in Katy, Texas and graduated from Mayde Creek High School. She attended South- west Texas State and is currently attend- ing Our Lady of the Lake University, working toward a Business Degree in Human Resources. Recently nominated as treasurer for the Employee Associa- tion, both work and school keep Susan With West U's tax rate going up two cents next year, city officials believe that residents are still getting a lot for their money. Based on information from the Har- ris County Appraisal District, an aver- age home value in West U is $275,000. With a tax rate of $38 this year, the owner paid just over $1,045 in property taxes for West U city government. This includes 24-hour police and fire protec- tion, administrative services, park main- tenance, street maintenance and infra- structure improvements. Next year that same property will be assessed for about $1,100 in West U property taxes. But West U accounts for just 15% of the total property taxes paid by West U homeowners. In all, there are eight different tax levies. In addition to West U, taxes are collected by Harris County, Harris County Flood Control District, Port of Houston, Houston Community College System, Harris County Hospi- tal District, and the Houston Indepen- dent School District (plus the School Equalization levy). In all, an average West U property owner pays almost $6,800 in taxes to these jusrisdictions with over half (56%) going to HISD. Here is a breakdown of how the property tax money is disbursed based on an average assessed value of $275,000: I997 Dates Harris County $1,173.98 Hart-is County Flood Control 203.79 Fort of Houston 43.52 HCCS 173.40 Farris County lospital District 139.8,6 Cify Of West U L043.10 HISD 3,799.00' Seliool Equalization 15.43 (Oak wilt - continued from page 1) Texas Hill Country. The good news is that it has not yet been found in our area and that's how we would like to keep it. It appears that Oak wilt is being spread by the transportation of infected fire- wood and beetles. By following these simple steps, you can do your part in stopping the spread of the dis- ease: -'Do not transport firewood into our area from the Hill Country; -'Make sure your firewood has been thoroughly dried for at least a year; -'If you purchase firewood from an unknown source, cover it with clear plastic with the edges buried to prevent very busy.

She also likes hiking and mountain biking with her dog, Tonka! insects, which could spread the disease, from leaving the pile. Clear plastic is used because it does not have light holes for the insects to see escape routes; and -'Burn all firewood during the season it was purchased; don't save it for next year. If we follow these precautions, we will surely reduce the chance of spreading the unwanted Oak Wilt Disease to our trees.
